Another Thornley backed outfit, PerCapita, conceived as a direct competitor to free market think tanks like the IPA and the CIS, has been more active in recent months with ex-Latham staffer Michael Cooney regularly hitting the airwaves to take on its scorched earth rivals.

But as I reported on this blog, Cooney has left Per Capita, and has been working in Canberra for someone else since early December last year – over the few months in which Crook thinks he has been regularly hitting the airwaves.

Don’t believe anything you read about think-tanks in Crikey. They are just making it up.

Marks wrote re Rudd’s polemic:
‘However for people whose primary focus is on economics — people who have read countless earlier repetitions of this “Third Way” argument in trade/development/policy journals over the past 20 years — the typical response is, “so what’s new?”‘
More to the point, what is true? This was a question that the folk on Club Troppo managed to sidestep.
